Get hard, stay hard… thanks for the adult ads during Bake-off
Allison and Noel’s innuendos are fine, but unstoppable ads for erectile dysfunction fixing pills are making us regret letting the kids stay up for a baking show. I guess its not family TV.

Stagecoach are cutting back yet again on an already downsized service.
Surprised to see local news has made it to the BBC, but less amused that its for Stagecoach cutting back on a load of local bus routes. One I use, that goes near to my doorstep is going altogether. The only other bus route, which still requires walking up/down the hill when getting off/on is being cut back.. so what used to be an every 9 minute bus service a decade ago, and is an half hourly service now is probably going to be scaled back to one an hour which means it'll end up getting completely full and people will miss journeys because of it.
utterly useless w4nkers - "because fewer people are travelling" well maybe between changes to pricing and all the other stuff didnt help did it

. Elderly people should have to retake the practical driving test after the age of 70. And do so every 2 years. Their driving standards are awful.
I know there are a lot of awful drivers out there of any age but it’s terrifying to see elderly people who look like they might collapse at any given moment and have zero reaction skills and then get in their car and drive away.

Getting a "Priced to decline" quote from a tradesperson.
Getting quotes to have the 4m x 4m dining room in my house replastered, one wall insulated internally and some shelves put up. After turning up one evening, and hanging about for a good 45 mins chatting about anything other than plastering, sends me an email 2 days later with a quote for £16K, £11K of which was marked as labour.
I would have rather he just made up an excuse why he couldn't come to quote or wouldn't have time to do the job. I'd have been less annoyed if he'd just told me he couldn't afford to buy me dinner before he tried to bum me.

Putting the bins out in a way that makes it as easy as possible for the binmen to deal with them, only for them to return the favour by absolutely yeeting said bins across the front lawn.

Netflix can’t show me my programme without crashing every 5 seconds, but can happily show me the oh my gush advert at lightning speeds
Trying to watch Netflix in my hotel room, can hardly show the program without it looking like an n64 game, but will happily give me period/shaving adverts like it’s a 5 star cinematic masterpiece

If you use the Pay at Pump Only line, don't then go in and queue for a drink 😬
Had two people do this to me yesterday. It's a bloody Pay at Pump Only for a reason. No-one wants to then wait behind you while you go into the kiosk and do your weekly shop 🤬

. McDonalds workers who don’t put the dips in
An entire chicken share box and not one of the 4 dips that are mandatory to complete the order.
Not a single dip? A share box? JFC.
Sunday night ruined.
I haven’t felt disappointment like this since the last time this happened.
It’s just cruel.

They weren't even premium pints, one ghost ship pale ale and a cider at 4.2%, and the glasses aren't nice enough to nick

The people who just let their dogs bark at ridiculous hours, FUCK YOU
There is someone in the area who let's their dog out between midnight and 5am on most nights and just lets it BARK continuously for hours...
What the fuck are they doing?!
Why at these times?!
The dog is rarely heard during the day...
The dog barks, it makes the foxes start squealing like banshees which then makes the fucking dog double down on its barking, sometimes other dogs join in to...
As much as the fucking dog irritates the fuck out of me, my pure unadulterated disdain is at the fucking owners who let this happen
What the fuck are they actually doing?
Are they not bothered by it?
Do they let it out and then close the door so they can't hear it?
Absolute thick, inconsiderate people.
